make install fails

[apopaa]

Hi,

Is jq required? I have manually installed yq, by downloading and copying the binary, but when I run your "make install" I get a "/bin/sh: jq: not found" and then later on make fails with "fail "Please provide a name for your cluster", even though it claims that "Using 'make' sets the cluster name automatically". Does it fail to set the cluster name because it is missing jq?

Yes, your connaisseur requires jq, in addition to yq.
Once I installed it with:
curl -fsSL -o /usr/bin/jq https://github.com/stedolan/jq/releases/download/jq-1.6/jq-linux64 && chmod +x /usr/bin/jq
the install went smoothly.

Hi @apopaa , that is correct. Version 1.5.0 makes use of jq in the Makefile. In fact, we are removing the dependency on both jq and yq in v2.0.0 that will be released within the next weeks (hopefully earlier ;-) ). What you can do right now however is to not use the Makefile and just call:

bash helm/certs/gen_certs.sh
helm install connaisseur helm --atomic --set alerting.cluster='mycluster'  --create-namespace --namespace connaisseur

let me know if that works 🙂
